The Houseboat Hirers Association says forward bookings for March and April are already 15 per cent higher than last year. The Association chief executive, Peter Tucker, says a tourism boom over Christmas has created a shortage of boat moorings.

As the floodwaters from Victoria flow down the River Murray to the Lower Lakes and Coorong, river townships along the way are already experiencing a renewed sense of optimism.
One community is Mannum, a town that relies on their river boat tourism.
With declining water levels over the last few years, the towns' riverboat operators have struggled to survive.
But now with water flushing down the system, operators can load passengers off the main wharf for the first time in 3 years.Thu, 16 Sep 2010 14:00:00 +0930\xmlcontent\201009\3013755.xmlABC Radio AdelaideadelaideRural:All:AllRural:Rural Tourism:AllAustralia:SA:Adelaide 5000McLaren grape growers concerned over urban sprawlhttp://www.abc.net.au/rural/sa/content/2010/08/s2997596.htm?source=rss
There is dark cloud hovering over the future of the McLaren Vale wine region, as the grape growers and wine makers feel it's under threat by urban encroachment.
A major housing development is being proposed at the entrance of McLaren Vale.
This development is part of the state government's plan to try and provide housing for 500 thousand people over the next 30 years.
As part of the state government's Greater Adelaide Plan, the government is looking to the Adelaide Hills, Murray Bridge, McLaren Vale and the Barossa Valley to do this.
A couple of weeks ago, The Country Hour team was in Mt Barker highlighting the issues among residents - principally the major one being prime agricultural land being taken over by housing.
This time, the wine industry believes urban encroachment will tarnish their industry.
It's been said this urban development called Seaford Heights could tarnish the rural image of McLaren Vale and significantly impact the region's tourism.
As you enter the grape growing region of McLaren Vale, it's located between Victor Harbour and South Road,an spot which grape growers describe as the gateway to the region
The plan is to build 1170 homes on a 77 hectare site.
Paxton Wines is located right of the boundary of the proposed Seaford Heights development,owner David Paxton is against the development, he says housing and vineyards can't co-exist.
Dudley Brown, chair of the McLaren Vale Wine and Grape and Tourism Association says this tarnish the region's tourism industry.
He says the McLaren Vale Wine industry generates $800 million a year. The tourism industry generates $160 million a year, making the grape and wine region the second most important region economically in Australia.
The Onkaparinga Council says it doesn't have much muscle in negotiations with state government over this development.
Mayor Lorraine Rosenberg says there needs to be proper legislative protection of rural areas within the Willunga Basin.
She says the planning process is flawed, the only winners are the developers.
Ms Rosenberg says the council is doing everything in its power, but at the end of the day, it's hands are tied.
Robert Brokenshire, MLC Family First has submitted a bill to the upper house with the aim to protect rural areas in the Willunga Basin.
It now has to be passed by the Lower House.
Part of proposed development will be rezoned as commercial, allowing a shopping precinct to be built.
David Cavanagh from the McLaren Vale Business Association says the new shopping complex could potentially draw customers away from shopping in the smaller shops at McLaren Vale.Mon, 30 Aug 2010 16:23:00 +0930\xmlcontent\201008\2997596.xmlABC Radio AdelaideadelaideRural:All:AllRural:Rural Tourism:AllAustralia:SA:Adelaide 5000Adelaide-Pt Lincoln flights being cuthttp://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/07/29/2967470.htm?source=rss
